Graduate Studies Information and Regulations


Purpose

Knight Library has studies available to registered graduate students who are engaged in extensive library research while working on their dissertation, thesis or final project assignment. They are not to be used as offices or conference space, or as group study rooms.  The study is for use by the assigned occupant only. Users must return their study keys promptly at the end of their assigned term: no later than 5pm, Friday of Finals Week.

Application Process

Application forms are available in Library Administration, Knight Library, Room 115. This form must be filled out completely and signed by the student. There is a $10.00 refundable deposit for the key. The key is not to be duplicated or given to other individuals. If the key is lost or misplaced, please inform Library Administration staff immediately. 

Due to the limited number of studies and high demand for space, the room assignments will only be for a single term for master's students, and two terms for doctoral students (fall, winter, spring, or summer) during the length of the program. Extension requests can no longer be considered.

Regulations for Use of Graduate Studies
